The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 61: What’s Her Identity

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Jinyu wasn’t someone who liked to be secretive. Although she had specially hidden her identity for convenience’s sake before returning to North City, she had never deliberately concealed her true nature. Moreover, she had already revealed an unusual side to Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan, so why would she avoid the call before them?

“You got it?”

“Yes, I found it. But Beauty Yu, that person… can’t be an enemy.”

Yan Jinyu knew her very well. If she didn’t have full confidence, she wouldn’t have said things like “can’t be an enemy.”

“Do you know that person?”

“He’s the eldest son of the Huo Family, Huo Xuan.”

Yan Jinyu fell silent.

Wasn’t Huo Xuan Little Rain’s biological brother?

Little Rain was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family in South City and had been missing for 11 years.

During these 11 years, Little Rain wandered onto Ghost Slaughter Island and finally stood out to become the number four killer “Liang” on the killer rankings.

The top four killers were “Chi”, “Mei”, “Wang” ,”Liang” [1. “Chi”, “Mei”, “Wang”, “Liang” are demons, monsters and all kinds of evil spirits that live in the forest.]. Their code names matched the words “Ghost Slaughter” of the Ghost Slaughter Island perfectly.

Before the destruction of Ghost Slaughter Island, they were all under its control. Therefore, even Little Rain, whom her family had not given up on searching for for 11 years, only began to return to the Huo Family after destroying Ghost Slaughter Island.

After all, the Huo Family was the number one family in South City. They were an existence that could rival the top three families in the capital. Unless she was fully prepared, Little Rain would not dare to go back easily because if she was not careful, her identity might be exposed by the Huo Family… especially by the current head of the Huo Family, Huo Xuan.

Therefore, after Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed, Little Rain spent two years preparing before she dared to appear in front of the Huo Family.

Ghost Slaughter Island had been destroyed for three years, and she had spent two years preparing for it. In that case, it had been a year since Little Rain returned to the Huo Family.

“There’s no special reason for me to let you investigate, Little Rain. It’s just that I have to stay in North City for a long time. You know that I don’t like having too many unknown factors around me, so you don’t have to think too much about it. Not to mention that I don’t have much contact with that person currently, even if I do, I’ll try my best not to offend him on account of you.”

Yan Jinyu was the number one “Chi” on the killer rankings so she was considered the boss among the four of them. Although the other three were older than her, they usually took care of her.

However, Yan Jinyu was such a person. It was very rare for her to completely acknowledge someone. Once she did, she would be very protective of her loved ones.

“Of course I know. I’m just… Recently, my brother seems to have caused quite a bit of trouble for Yin Jiujin. You should know this too. Yin Jiujin is your fiancé after all. I’m afraid… Beauty Yu, I don’t want you to go against my brother one day.” After a pause, she said, “However, if we really have to go against each other, I’ll definitely side with you.”

“But no matter what, he’s still my brother. With me around, at least I can guarantee that he won’t become your enemy… Sigh, I don’t even know what I’m talking about. Anyway, I don’t want you to become enemies.”

“No.”

She chuckled, “Since he’s someone you care about, I won’t offend him. At least, I won’t actively offend him.” If Little Rain could choose her between her brother and her without hesitation, how could she not even do such a small thing?

“Also, Little Rain, you’re underestimating Yin Jiujin too much. He can totally handle an opponent in the business world. Why would I need to help him out?” Even if that person was Huo Xuan from the Huo Family of South City, she didn’t believe that Yin Jiujin couldn’t handle him.

Compared to the mutual suspicion and deception in the business world, she was better at killing people with her hands. She would let Yin Jiujin, the “God of Slaughter” in business, deal with his enemies in the business world himself. If someone wanted to harm Yin Jiujin and the other party was indeed skilled, it wouldn’t be too late for her to attack.

Yin Jiujin had only been schemed against by Huo Xuan because he had spent most of his energy on finding her and neglected his business.

However, the premise that she didn’t become enemies with Huo Xuan was that Huo Xuan wouldn’t have the intention to kill the people she cared about. As for the conflicts in the business world, it was unavoidable for businessmen. As long as it didn’t affect Yin Jiujin’s career too much, she wouldn’t mind.

Of course, Huo Xuan couldn’t offend her either.

If the person staring at her on the track today was Huo Xuan, then Huo Xuan must have noticed her. She hoped that Huo Xuan would be smarter and not take the initiative to look for her.

“Beauty Yu, listen to what you’re saying. Why do I feel like my brother can’t be compared to Yin Jiujin in your eyes? In South City, the Huo Family’s status and accomplishments are almost comparable to the Yin Family in the capital. My brother is the head of the Huo Family after all. Yin Jiujin only has the title of Second Young Master in the Yin Family. The Yin Family isn’t controlled by Yin Jiujin.”

“So what?” She chuckled, “Little Rain, don’t forget that Yin Jiujin is my fiancé. Do you think I will acknowledge him and decide to spend the rest of my life with him if he isn’t good enough?”

“…I can’t out-talk you, but Beauty Yu, don’t underestimate my brother. Since you trust your Yin Jiujin so much, you should know that not everyone can scheme against him, even when he’s busy with other things.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t deny it.

“However, Beauty Yu, I’m still a little worried. My brother and Yin Jiujin are considered enemies, and you’re Yin Jiujin’s fiancée. My brother isn’t a good person either. It’s hard to guarantee that he won’t use you to deal with Yin Jiujin. Isn’t your birthday coming up soon? How about I’ll take advantage of your birthday to make a trip to North City and find a chance to ‘get to know’ you? My brother sees that you’re my friend. Even if he and Yin Jiujin are rivals in the business world, he probably won’t easily start with you.”

“Why? Are you afraid that I can’t handle it?”

“How is that possible! I’m just afraid that my brother would offend you and he would suffer… Ahem, anyway, it’s settled. I’ll make a trip to North City on your birthday.”

“You don’t have to come over. Someone who can match up to Yin Jiujin wouldn’t be so bad as to harm a woman.” Little Rain wanted to return to the Huo Family. How could she let Little Rain go back if she didn’t investigate the people in the Huo Family?

Although she didn’t know Huo Xuan very well, she knew that he was someone important and not one who would use underhanded methods.

“We haven’t seen each other in a year, Beauty Yu.”

Hearing that, Yan Jinyu was instantly speechless.

“In order to avoid trouble, you didn’t allow us to look for you. Can’t we celebrate your 18th birthday in person? Forget about Brother Feng and Sister Fengling. There are a lot of people in the capital who pay attention to them. I’m different. I’m still a first-year student and the daughter of the Huo Family. I just want to go to North City and meet you by chance. It’s completely understandable. No one will think too much about it.”

Taking the opportunity to get to know Beauty Yu so that her brother wouldn’t find trouble with Yan Jinyu on her account was just an excuse. The most important thing was that she wanted to celebrate Beauty Yu’s birthday with her.

She was very clear about the Yan Family’s attitude towards Beauty Yu. She had never believed that the Yan Family would give Beauty Yu a proper coming-of-age ceremony.

In terms of skills and brains, she, Brother Feng, and Sister Feng Ling weren’t as good as Beauty Yu, but there was one thing that Beauty Yu couldn’t compare to—age.

Beauty Yu was younger than them. They listened to her on important matters, but she listened to them on trivial matters.

They all wanted Beauty Yu to have a perfect coming-of-age ceremony.

The smile on Yan Jinyu’s face froze. After a long time, she replied, “Alright.”

“Beauty Yu, are you agreeing to let me go to North City to look for you?!”

“Only you.”

“I know, I know. Brother Feng and Sister Fengling are rather famous in the capital. It’s inconvenient for them to move around. Although they want to look for you, they will hold it in so as not to cause you any trouble. Don’t worry.”

“Mm-hm.”

“Beauty Yu, you really promised me? You won’t go back on your words?”

The complicated emotions in Yan Jinyu’s heart dissipated after she asked that.

It had only been a year since they last saw each other, but Little Rain had become so naggy.

“Yes, I won’t.”

“That’s great. I’m going to brag about it to Sister Feng Ling… No, no. What if she gets jealous and decides to follow us? Wouldn’t that be very troublesome? I’d better not contact them for the time being so that I don’t leak anything.”

“They don’t mess around like you do.”

“That’s not completely true.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything more to her. She chuckled and hung up the phone.

Looking at the doting and sincere smile on her lips, Yan Jinyun pursed her lips.

Even though she did not know who this “Little Rain” was, it was not difficult for her to guess that it was a girl, and it was a girl who was not that old.

Ever since she returned to the Yan Family, although Yan Jinyu always had a smile on her face, she knew that most of Yan Jinyu’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.

So Yan Jinyu would also smile from the bottom of her heart?

Yan Jinyun didn’t want to admit that she was a little envious that the person called “Little Rain” could be treated so sincerely by Yan Jinyu. Her top socialite status didn’t allow her to envy this kind of “sincere treatment” that could be said to be of no benefit to her, but…

Her feelings would still be complicated.

Yan Jinyun couldn’t hear what “Little Rain” was saying on the other end of the line, but from Yan Jinyu’s words, it wasn’t hard to tell that the other party knew about Master Nine and was very clear about Yan Jinyu and Master Nine’s relationship. Not only that, she should also know someone who seemed to be enemies with Master Nine in the business world…

As for who it was, she couldn’t figure it out yet. Based on her understanding, Master Nine was invincible in the business world.

Yan Jinyun wanted to ask, but she heard from Yan Jinyu’s words that she seemed to be asking the other party to investigate someone.

She wondered if Yan Jinyu had encountered some trouble.

However, she still did not ask anything after hesitating for a moment.

However, just as she was hesitating, Feng Yuan, who was in front, asked, “Jinyu, is the person who called you… your friend from your past?” His tone was a little careful, as if he was afraid that Yan Jinyu would be unhappy if he asked.

Master Nine and even some business rivals were mentioned. Of course, he wouldn’t naively think that the other party was just an ordinary friend that Jinyu knew in the past.
